There are a host of reasons why developers prefer building Java applications in Azure, from the ability
to build, debug, and deploy Java applications using their favourite development environments to
quickly adding services and capabilities and integrating them with other apps and services in the
Microsoft partner ecosystem. And not least of all, the productivity bonus of not having to manage
infrastructure during development.

This guide helps you navigate the resources and training for choosing the right service, building, and
deploying, monitoring, and expanding the capabilities of Java applications on Azure.
